25 Claims. (Cl. 225-48) Matter enclosed in heavy brackets appears in theoriginal patent but forms no part of this reissue specification; matterprinted in italics indicates the additions made by reissue.

This invention relates to improvements in paper dispensing cartons.

The main objects of this invention are:

First, to provide a dispensing carton which is well adapted forpackaging and dispensing of a roll of filmlike sheet material and forpackaging and dispensing paper of fibrous type and one which may beformed of relatively light stock and at the same time is strong anddurable for packaging and for handling.

Second, to provide a dispensing carton for rolled stock which iseiiectively sealed for storage, shipment and merchandizing and which maybe quickly and easily opened for dispensing of the packaged stocktherefrom and which is form retaining and rigid in such dispensing useand handling.

Third, to provide a dispensing carton from which the materials may bereadily withdrawn in the desired amount and the material clampedrelative to the blade so that it is cut or severed on a straight lineand is not likely to be othewise torn or fractured.

Fourth, to provide a dispensing carton having these advantages which maybe economically produced and in which there is a relatively small amountof stock waste in the formation thereof.

Objects relating to details and economies of the invention will appearfrom the description to follow. The invention is defined and pointed outin the claims.

Re. 25,875 Reissued Oct. 12, 1965 FIG. ll is an enlarged fragmentaryview illustrating details of securing of the cutter blade to the cartonblank so that it constitutes a fixed and reinforcing element thereof.

FIG. 12 is an enlarged fragmentary view on a line corresponding to line1212 of FIG. 1 illustrating certain structural details.

FIG. 13 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating initial steps inthe removal of the tear strip and the relationship thereof and otherparts to the cutter blade.

FIG. 14 is a plan view of the blank in its extended position with thecutter blade mounted thereon with adhesive and adhesive repellentconventionally illustrated.

FIG. 15 is a fragmentary end elevational view of a modified form of ourinvention.

It should be understood that paper" is used in its broad sense and thatthe carton is adapted for use for packaging and dispensing film stock orfilm-like material as distinguished from what is commonly designatedPaper.

The embodiment of our invention illustrated is of hexagonal crosssection and is formed integrally of paperboard stock out and scored toprovide the outer walls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 which are hingedly connectedby the scores 7 conventionally indicated. a

The cutter blade 8 is secured to the wall 1 so that its edge 9 which isdesirably serrated as is indicated projects slightly from the wall 1when the carton is in erected position and is fixedly secured as bymeans of the integral lugs 10 struck inwardly therefrom, see FIG. 11.This not only provides an effective means for securing the blade but theblade constitutes a reinforcing mem her for the wall 1 which issubjected to some stress when the paper is being removed from the rollof stock within the container.

The inner wall 11 is hingedly connected to the edge of the outer wall 1by suitable hinging scores and disposed on the edge of the outer wall 6and is substantially the same dimensions as the outer wall.

A second support member 12 is hingedly connected at 13 to the inner edgeof the wall member 11 and terminates at its inner edge in the reversefold 14, see FIG. 2, which provides a smooth guiding edge for the stockas it is unwound from the roll in withdrawing the same from thecontainer.

The removable portion 17 of the outer wall 6 is, in the embodimentillustrated, provided with transverse slits 40 disposed at the ends ofthe spaced adhesive sections 18, the adhesive being conventionally shownin the drawing. In the embodiment of our invention illustrated theremovable strip or section 17 which is detachably secured by theadhesive is provided with transverse slits 40 which serve the doublepurpose of adding to the flexibility of the tear strip as will bepointed out and also to prevent tearing or stripping of portions of theremovable strip which might disfigure. Further, the portions of the wall11 between the spaced adhesive supports is provided with adhesiveresisting material 41, conventionally illustrated in FIG. 14.Additionally, as shown in FIG. 14, the inner wall 11 is provided withscores therein surrounding the adhesive sections 18.

To further facilitate removal of the strip 17 and minimize tearing, thesevering line 15 includes spaced slits 42 transversely aligned with theadhesive sections 18. These longitudinal and transverse slits 40 and 42of the removable sections not only serve to minimize disfiguringfractures but they are of substantial advantage in that they facilitategrasping of the tear strip aljacent its adhered portion.

In practice one end of the tear strip is grasped. the operator graspingthe carton with the thumb engaging the outer wall section 6, or thecarton may be positioned on a shelf or table or other support and theoperator merely presses on the section of the wall 6 and with his otherhand grasps the removable section 17 and pulls or detaches it from theinner wall 11. When the carton is erected and before removing thesection 17, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer edge of thesection 17 constitutes a guard for the edge 9 of the cutter blade 8.

The wall member 1 is provided with hexagonal end wall members 19 at itsends and the wall member 4 which is opposed to wall member 1 when thecarton is erected is provided with end members 22. The other side wallmembers 2, 3 and are provided with end flaps 20, 21 and 23 respectivelyand the inner wall members 11 and 12 are provided with end flaps 24 and25 respectively.

The end members 19 are hexagonal shape and are dimensioned to providecomplete end closures. The outer end members 22, in the embodimentillustrated, are dimensioned to approximately one-half the size of theend members 19 and have folding scores 26 aligned with the foldingscores of the wall members 3 and 4.

The means for securing the flaps 20, 24 and 25 to the end wall member 19are not illustrated but it will be understood that they are fixedlyconnected thereto as by adhesive when the carton is erected. The sameapplies to the connection for the end flaps 21 and 23 to the end wallmembers 22.

The score line 7 connecting the walls 2 and 3, illustratedconventionally, is desirably of somewhat greater depth than the otherscore lines and constitutes hinges for the two sections.

The side wall 5 is provided with tongues 28 resulting from the slits 27which engage the notches 29 in the outer end wall members 22 when thewalls are in erected position and these tongues also overlap thecorresponding edges of the inner wall to support the walls as the cartonis being handled.

A roll of the paper 34 is conventionally illustrated at 35 and isprovided with a tubular support core 36 on which the paper is woundwhich is rather common practice in rolls of paper. The roll of paperenclosed in the carton is etfectively sealed and when it is desired touse the same, the portion of the outer wall 6 is grasped at the innerside of the perforations 15 and the portion 17 grasped at one end andpulled to break its adhesive connection 18 to the inner wall member 11.The carton may then be opened, as indicated in FIG. 8, and the end ofthe roll of paper drawn outwardly over the inner wall member 11 and flapor extension 12, as is illustrated in FIG. 10.

Slits 16 facilitate the tearing or severing and result in tabs at theends for convenient grasping.

The score line 31 connecting the tabs 25 to the inner wall members 12are provided with slits 32 which provide supporting tabs 33 on the paperguide and support member 12. These coact to prevent collapsing and thetabs 33 further coact with the opening provided by the notches 29 toserve as frictional locks or keepers to retain the cover in closedposition.

It will be noted that the complete carton is relatively compact and ofsuch size that it may be conveniently grasped and its hexagonal wallsresist clamping stress. In use, the user grasps the carton with thethumb of one hand in engagement with the remaining section of the outerwall 6. The stock is pulled out to the desired degree and the wall 6 isclamped down upon the underlying inner wall so that further withdrawalof stock is prevented and the stock may be severed on a straight line,as is indicated in FIG. 10.

The stock is effectively retained between the inner wall members 11 and12 in the overlapping outer walls 5 and 6 and after a section has beenremoved there is an exposed edge portion of paper which may beconveniently grasped for withdrawing.

It will be understood that score lines, which are conventionallyillustrated, are such as to provide hinging connections for the wallmembers and the end member flaps. The adhesive and adhesive resistingcoating are also conventionally illustrated.

One of the advantages of this embodiment of our in vention illustratedis that there is relatively little waste stock and the cartons may beconveniently packed for shipment and storage and they are not easilycollapsed in grasping or handling, or packaging.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 15, the tear strip portion 17 of thewall 6 has an infolded portion 17A which provides a double wallthickness that acts as a guard for the cutting edge of the blade 8.

We have illustrated and described our invention in a desirableembodiment thereof. We have not attempted to illustrate or describeother embodiments or adaptations as it is believed this disclosure willenable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt our invention in ahighly practical form thereof.
